The RATIONAL basis of Selfishness
- What are YOUR rational dreams?
Have you paused long enough to take stock of what makes your life
worth living?
Reflections on the Ethics of Selflessness
- If one's goal is a happy
and fulfilling life, self-interest is best served by rationality,
productivity, integrity, and a sense of justice and benevolence in
dealings with others.
Rational Selfishness and the Great Wealth
Creator - True
egoists are not narcissists; they are not preoccupied
with grandiose fantasies or obsessed with being the center of
attention and getting constant approval.
Selfishness - A brief excerpt
from Leonard Peikoff's Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand
Without Selfish Individuals, Nothing
- Trying to "build community" by downplaying the individual is like
trying to chart galaxies by disregarding the stars. Simply, the
individual comes first.
Love is Selfish
- To say "I love you" one must first know how to say "I".
Selfishness vs. "Selfishness"
- Cheer up! Altruism (which causes
resentment and/or suicide and actually cripples spontaneous
good will and benevolence) is NOT the only moral code
available to mankind!
Selfishness Without a Self -
"The grim joke on mankind is the
fact that [a type of person who has no real
self and no personal interests] is held up as a symbol of
selfishness."
Altruism: The Morality of Logical Fallacies
- Altruism holds that being moral consists in self-sacrificially
serving others. Despite its self-destructive nature, altruism is
accepted to some extent by almost everyone today. Of course, no one
upholds it consistently--at least not for long. Rather,
most people accept it as true--and then cheat on it.
Collectivism vs.
Individualism -
Individualism, not collectivism
or altruism, is the root of benevolence and good will among men.
